We love this area for all that it has to offer! Beat the crowded stays in Stowe with easy access to all the things you want to do:

Enjoy a leisurely afternoon at Lake Elmore/Elmore State Park - less than a mile away for kayaking, fishing/ice fishing, swimming, and hiking.

Grab a fantastic artisan pizza and 4 pack of craft beer, fresh baked bread, or local maple syrup at the historic Elmore Store (which houses Fire Tower Pizza).

Take a scenic bike ride on the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail (93 miles and counting), or a day on the slopes at Stowe or Smugglers Notch! Experience one of the many hiking trails, breweries, or golf courses nearby. Go antiquing or browse the shops in the lovely town squares of Morrisville and Hardwick.

End the day watching the stars next to the pond, cozying up by the fire pit with a glass of wine or an excellent craft beer from Lost Nation, Rock Art, The Alchemist, Hill Farmstead, Idletyme, Lawson's...the list goes on!

A perfect home-away-from-home for families, remote workers, couples, groups of skiers or nature lovers just wanting to be close to the mountains and all the best Northern Vermont has to offer.

Darling location. Cute kitchen and living area. Not the cleanest VRBO I've stayed in, but definitely not the worst. Owner provided a cute s'mores kit to use with the firepit and popcornand tea. Loved our stay in this area.

AMAZING

This property was simply amazing - the location was easy to stowe, remote enough to feel Vermonty, but not too rural at all. The inside of the home was SO clean and well decorated. Cozy, large and well laid out. Beds are very comfy and great linens. We did not want to leave :) Kitchen was well stocked and they use natural/fragrance free products which was huge for me! The house is much larger and spacious than pictures showed.

Thanksgiving trip with family and pups

What a perfect house for our family of four, my mother in law, and our two pups - with room to spare. It was so comfortable and modern and we absolutely love Wolcott. The property was beautiful with privacy and we loved watching the kids and dogs run around and play in the snow. The location was easy for us to do day trips to Stowe and Burlington and Morrisville is so convenient for everything you need. Elmore Lake is so beautiful too and we enjoy the quaintness of the Elmore Store! We will definitely rent this home again - after multiple other rentals in the area where we were never able to bring the dogs we are so happy to have found this one. Thank you so much!

Wonderful ski trip

House was very clean and surprisingly spacious. Kitchen had everything we needed and up to date appliances. Very close to Stowe. Plenty of sheets and towels. The garage is perfect for a small sized car. There is a great mud room to hold ski gear and wet clothing. Overall a great weekend would definitely book again.

Friend's Gathering during Peak Autumn

I was a little doubtful of the properrty because: 1. The pictures were screenshots of a listing. 2. The place looked pretty nice for the price. Well, I was pleasantly surprised to find that everything was exactly as pictured. Actually, the entire property was better than what we were expecting. There was a slight miscommunication when arriving regarding our access and the cleaners working, but it was quickly resolved and we went into town for the rest of the day while they finished cleaning. We're from the NYC area and we were a little spooked about the location lol. It was a dirt road going to what felt like the middle of nowhere, and it gets so dark! But than in itsel was amazing at the end of the day beccause it was so quiet, peaceful, private, and the amount of stars we got to see were incredible. But the best thing about the location was being able to drive in, out, and around Lake Elmore. It looked amazing during peak fall, especially with the mountain in the background! It's close enough to Stowe that you can easily go in and around the town, but far enough that you don't have to deal with "competing" with other tourists. 9/10, would do again. Maybe Vermont Trip Part 2.

Josh and his crew were awesome! The house is so clean and in a very cute area with Lake Elmore nearby. He was very responsive and the house is stacked with everything you need. My family and the dogs really enjoyed the pond on the property! Thank you for a great time!

Amazing peace

Great location since it was quiet and seemed off the path but was so close to everything. We had an amazing time. The lake was the best for paddle boarding. The house is as seen and very welcoming and cozy. We had 8 people with us. Everyone loved our stay there. I would stay here again definitely!

Perfect stay!

We had the best time at this home in Wolcott! My boyfriend and I went up with my parents for a ski/stowe area vacation and we couldn't have had a better time. The house is in a great location for everything we wanted to do. Centrally located and down the street from Elmore store, Morrisville (visit Black Cap), Stowe and so many things to do. The house was comfortably furnished and warm. My parents took the downstairs master bedroom with master bathroom and my boyfriend and I had the entire upstairs to ourselves. Very dog friendly with dog bowls and a dog bed which was a really nice touch for our 14 year old Aussie. Josh was very responsive and helpful during our stay. We didn't want to leave because we were having the best time and he was able to extend our stay for us. Wonderful stay. Can't wait to go back!

The perfect winter getaway!

This stay was perfect for our family winter getaway! The house was incredibly cute, clean, functional and exactly what we needed to enjoy a weekend away with the family. The host was easy to communicate with, check in and check out was easy, and the house had everything that we needed! Including a high chair for our 7 month old! We definitely recommend and will be going back!
